Considerations
design
EMC recommends that switches support gigabit Ethernet (GbE) connections and
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), and the ports on switches support
considerations
This validated solution uses virtual local area networks (VLANs) to segregate
network traffic of various types to improve throughput, manageability, application
separation, high availability, and security.
The IP scheme for the virtual desktop network must be designed such that there are
enough IP addresses in one or more subnets for the DHCP Server to assign them to
aggregation
VNX platforms provide network high availability or redundancy by using link
aggregation. This is one of the methods used to address the problem of link or
switch failure.
Link aggregation is a high-availability feature that enables multiple active Ethernet
connections to appear as a single link with a single MAC address and potentially
multiple IP addresses.
In this solution, LACP is configured on VNX, which combines two GbE ports into a
single virtual device. If a link is lost in the Ethernet port, the link fails over to another
port. All network traffic is distributed across the active links.
